LONDON : SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 8, 1838. THE CANADAS. OFFICIAL DESPATCHES. Despatches were received this morning, at the Colonial-Office, from Sir JOHN COLBORNE, dated Montreal, November 18, which give as favourable accounts as could have been anticipated of the events in both Upper and Lower Canada. Sir JOHN writes, in the greatest confidence, of the whole rebellion being for the present completely at an end in Lower Canada. He cannot, of course, answer for what attempts may be made through the winter, and the service of the troops will probably be bar rassing ; but he does not anticipate any second formidable attempt, and his resources, he thinks, are fully adequate to all the calls likely to be made on them. On the whole his accounts of Lower Canada are extremely satisfactory, and no necessity will exist, we hope, to make any further demands on the re sources of the Empire. With respect to Upper Canada the military view is equally good. Let us first state, for the satisfac tion of Colonel YOUNG'S friends, that the report of his having been killed, which was inserted from the American papers, is totally destitute of foundation. Letters have been received from him, which do not allude even to his having been wounded. He has now the satis faction, too, of seeing his assailants, whom he was unable to encounter with the few militia under his command, completely routed. The despatches from Sir JOHN COLBORNE fully confirm the accounts derived from the New York papers, which will be elsewhere found, of the defeat and dispersion of the brigands by Colonel DUNDAS, who has captured all their guns, and arms, and ammunition. his success is the more pleasing from its having been obtained without any loss, only one man having been killed. The brigands, as was reported in the Ame rican papers, effected a landing, and Colonel YOUNG, finding that he was unable to oppose them with the few volunteers he had collected, retreated till Colonel DUNDAS with the 83d came to his assist ance, when the discomfiture of the brigands was com plete. The spirit of the people in Upper Canada is excellent, and 5,000 of them are in arms ready to repel any future attacks. It is impossible to guard the long line of frontier, and to attempt it would only fritter away our military strength ; the troops therefore are collected in masses, ready to march to any point where a landing may be effected. We may expect, therefore, with such a population as exist s on the frontier, notwithstanding Mr. VAN BUREN'S proclamation, that frequent attempts will be made to disturb the peace of Canada ; but we also feel assured, that they will be promptly repelled and severely punished. The dispatches received from Sir J. COLBORNE, will appear in an extraordinary Gazette, this evening, which we shall publish in The Sun this evening in a SECOND EDITION• By the arrival of the Great Western steam-ship, Lieutenant JAMES HOSKIN, R.N. Commander, last night at Bristol, in fourteen days from New York, whence she sailed on the 23d ultimo, we have received files of New York and Canada Papers, the former of the 23d and the latter to the 20th ultimo, inclusive. The Great Western had a stormy passage homewards. She brings eighty passengers, and official despatches for the Government from Sir JOHN COLBORNE. The news from the Canadas is highly interesting and satisfactory, as will be seen by a reference to the copious extracts which we have made from the Journals. Though considerable excitement, not unaccompanied with acts of outrage, continues to prevail along the Canadian frontier, yet the neck of the rebellion may be fairly said to be broken —mainly by the promptitude of Sir JOHN COLBORNE, and the gallantry of the native militia of British origin, assisted by the QUEEN'S troops. The ~affair at Prescott on the 16th ult., though disastrous to the Rebels, was attended with so little loss to the Loyalists, as hardly to merit the name of a regular engagement. All that is now wanted to restore tran quillity to the two Provinces, is the observance of a strict neutrality on the part of the authorities on the United States frontier. In the Canadas the Rebels have neither camp nor locality in which to raise the standard of revolt, but, like the progeny of Sin and Death in " Paradise Lost," fly for shelter whenever they are pursued to those frontier hot-beds of rebellion in which their crimes were first engendered. The well timed proclamation of President VAN BUREN, com manding all citizens of the United States to abstain from acts involving a breach of the neutral relations between the Confederated States and Great Britain, and directing all officers, civil and military, on the frontier, to exert their authority to the utmost in preventing and punishing violations of our terri tory, will deprive the bandits, calling themselves " Sympathisers," of the pretence of being actuated by motives tacitly sanctioned by the United States Executive. We have no doubt whatever but that this document will be highly approved of by Congress ; and should it appear that the hands of the Executive are not sufficiently strong to curb the brigands on the frontier, we look with confidence to the strin gency of the measures which that body will adopt, as an earnest of its regard for the rights of nations, and of the amicable relations which it desires to foster between Great Britain and the Federal Go vernment of the States. President VAN BUREN has performed his part in a spirit of frank amity. He leaves the Executive in Canada to deal with such of the " Sympathirs " as are caught 111 411113, ac- cording as it may think proper, without re gard to pretensions resting upon their claiming to be citizens of the United States. His words are very emphatic:--" I hereby warn all those who have engaged in these criminal enterprises, if persisted in, that what ever may be the condition to which they may be re duced, they must not expect the interference of this Government, in any form, on their behalf ; but will be left, reproached by every virtuous fellow-citizen, to be dealt with according to the policy and justice of that Government whose dominions they have, in de fiance of the known wishes and efforts of their own Government, and without the shadow of justification or excuse, nefariously invaded." More than this we cannot ask from the PRESIDENT. If more require to be done, we must look to Congress. We have some important news from Mexico and Texas, the substance of which will be found elsewhere. The Liverpool steamer safely arrived at New York a few hours before the sailing of the Great Western for Bristol. She left Cork on the 6th ult. The subjoined letter from New York is so gene rally interesting, that we prefer inserting it here to giving it among the regular intelligence : NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—1 wrote you on the 20th inst., and have since received later advices from Canada. The patriot force who were in the windmill at Prescott have either been taken or killed. I am informed that the Governor of Upper Canada has ordered the prisoners (122) to be tried by Court Martial, and their sentence to be executed immediately, most of them are citizens of the United States, and we are in daily expectation of hearing that they have all been hung. Whilst we must all regret the shedding of so much blood, nothing but summary proceedings on the part of the British authorities will put a stop to similar attacks from the lawless population on our side. The notorious Bill Johnson has been arrested by our authorities at Ogdensburg. It is with pleasure that I inform you that the utmost harmony exists between the British and American officers on the frontier, acid that the acts of our mis guided citizens who have invaded Canada ate univer sally reprobated by all those who have the least claim to any respectability. The Stock Market generally to-day was rather lower, but the United States Bank, American Trust Company, and Farmers' Loan Company shares, main tain their price fully. The United States Banks are t)-day selling bills on London at 10 premium, and offer to deliver bills, after sailing of the Great Western, at 9 premium. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, Nov. 22.

After the 11 th instant the General and Twopenny Posts are to be consolidated within the three mile circuit, and greater facilities will be afforded for posting, and, we hope, delivering, letters than at present. The multiplication of receiving houses seems connected with some plan, as already recommended in this Journal, of sorting the letters at the three principal houses on Cornhill, Charing-cross, and Oxford-street, for there no letters will be received after the 11th, because that " would interfere with other duties." Though we hope the delivery will be facilitated, we see no provision for that purpose, and at present great, and, we think very unnecessary delay, takes place in sending round the letters and papers which reach the metropolis by the day mails. It has already been found out that very few letters go by the mails which leave the metropolis in the middle of the day, and we are not surprised at it, after learning from the advertisement that letters to be sent by them must be put into the Post-office before eight o'clock in the morning. Between the departure of the night mails and eight o'clock, the time is almost wholly given to repose, and few or no letters can be written to send by the day mails. If the hour of receiving letters were ten o'clock, when the letters which arrive in the morning have been an hour delivered, the advantages conferred on commerce by the day mails would be much enhanced. In its further progress towards reform, the Post-office seems likely to encounter much selfish opposition, clothed in the garb of piety. A rumour has got into circulation, that the Post-office proposes to forward by the Sunday-night mails, the letters which reach town by the Sunday-morning mails, on their route to some other place ; whereupon some clerks are alarmed, lest they should not be able to sleep so long as at pre sent on Sunday morning—some selfishly pious per sons forsee a conflict between their intense love of gain, and their desire to set a good example by dozing in church of a Sunday—and they predict, if once the small edge of the wedge be entered, more letters will be transmitted to London on Sundays—letters will soon be received at the Post-office on Sundays, and soon will be delivered—and thus, say these parties, the Sabbath would be desecrated, and all kinds of evils flow in, from diverting a small portion of public attention from the Sabbath prayers and discourses of the clergy. The bankers seem to take this view, and the Memorial which they have presented to the Treasury will be found in another part of The Sun. They add, however, that the quiet and domestic comforts of Sunday are mainly secured to them by the total cessation of business at the London Post-office, and for their quiet and comfort they are very selfishly in clined to sacrifice the ease and the accommodation of all but the bankers of London. The memorialists, however, may easily preserve their quiet and comfort ; they have only to shut their doors, and bar their windows, as at present, and order all letters for them to be left till Monday. Nobody will disturb them ; but if they do not choose to send away and receive letters on Sunday, by what right do they seek to prevent others from doing it, and ar resting here the whole circulation of letters—for the coaches do not stop--for 24 hours, impeding business, and keeping alive anxieties which the arrival of a letter would reliev e ? A Correspondent of the Times, who is a non- communication man, lets us into the secret of these gentlemen. The delivery of letters on Sunday, we are told, would introduce among merchants, bankers, and wholesale traders in London that same misery which at present affects only certain classes of re tail traders, who are obliged totrade on Sunday, or lose half their customers b:'cause their neighbours trade. None of the bankers then would reject their letters on Sunday, because, however rich any of them may be, they cannot bear that a neighbour should obtain an advantage ;and father than lose a customer, our pious th e y are to i n fli c t p r i vat i ons on others, and trade l r o s u , d re a a s dy a ar: their hypocritical pretences about the Sabbath, would sacrifice their most vaunted p rin. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1838. ciples. The bankers object to opening the Post-offi( e on Sunday because they know th&r virtue would not resist the temptation a single day. We had intended to add a few observations. on the desecration of the Sabbath, as it is called, Is Inch takes place on all the roads, and in all the provincial towns of the empire, while it is kept so sacred by the gentlemen who, from the vi cinity of the Bank, overflow on Hampstead, Black heath, and all the neighbourhood of the metro polis, on Sunday ; but we find the matter so wel: done to our hand by a Correspondent of the 7 inies, that we shall insert a portion of his communication : Wherein, allow me to ask, consists the desecration in a mother's obtaininff a letter concerning the illness of a beloved child? It cannot seriously be said to be in the fact of the Post-office man giving the letter, instead of sl• eping over the office fire, or reading the Sunday newspapers ! But, sae the obj , ctors, " every one would scud fur their letters." It such be the case, is it not proved that nobody would feel the irreligion of doing so ? And "merchants' clerks, &e., would have no rest on Sundays." This is the assumption of a Cock ney, who knows nothing of the rest of the kingdom. Do mer chants' clerks, &c., have no Sunday rest at Liverpool, Bristol, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, where the public receive their letters every Sunday ? What, Sir, are the real facts of this question ? Fifteen n Wiens of people in England, not to men tion Scotland (strict, religious Scotland) and Ireland, receive their letters on Sundays, whilst the 1.500,000 in London are debarred from having them—that is, such a portion of the 1,500,000 as is within the twopenny post of London, becaus e there is an early delivery at half past eight o'clock on the Sunday mornings, which horrifies all the metropolitan inhabi tants within the threepenny post district. Is the Sabbath desecrated at Brixton, Kensington, and Tottenham, because the postman goes his round whilst most people are enjoying a Sunday morning's slumber? Are the Scotch less religious than the Cockneys, who allow the mails, mail-horses, coachmen, guards, and Post-offiee servants to be employed on Sundays, and object to taking the benefit of this employment? And yet it is the universal prac tice in Scotland to give the letters to all who call for them. " The inhabitants of Edinburgh," says Sir Edward Le. s, Secretary of the Edinburgh Post office ( Ev. 9,923), " are quite an example fur their decorous observance of the SA b ith, either ler this country or Ireland." Letters are given out at Edinburgh in the morning before breakfast, for a ct r tain time alter the arrival of the English mall, before divine service, immediately after divine strviee, and again on die termination of the second service.—(Ev. 9 926.) It is reeorded that some 35 or 40 years ago there was a preju dice in Ireland against the delivery of letters by the letter carriers, or otherwise, on a Sunday. The Government of Ireland li-ten'd to the ebjectioos, and it rem: d a subject of oiscu,sion in the Irish Parliament, and the probability was hat it would have h.. en carried, but for the inflto - nee and Weis of the then Bishop of Cloy ne, who was lately bishop of Dublin. He interfered on lo half of the delivery f le to son Sueda,s.—(Ev, 9.925.) Th ere can b e li tt l e doubt, too, that the At'clibishop of Canternury, who, as well as all th e great officers of state, receives his letters on a Sunday at pre cot, wI! take up the came for L•- don as the la . e cb oishop of Dublin dot for Dublin. Si E , iv:ard Lees goes 611 !o say, " that letters are now. d liver-d in Duldln by the let , ter carriets on Sunday, who wear a unif,,rm, and that he never he• rd any objecti in to th2m."—(9.939 . Mr. Godley, Secretary at Dublin, never heard arty objec tion made to letters being seta out on a Sunday in cone ouence of religious feeling. Carriers are not sent out in ' Edinburgh, but the most respectable people call for their let ters. It is the general habit throughout Scotland to send for letters. 11, never saw the Sunray observed so strictly as in Scotland. Never saw shops open in Scotland. No stage coeches or steam-packets go on Sundays.—(Ev. 8,749, &c.) The merchants, bankers, and traders of Scotland we believe, in general read their letters between the morning and evening services, both of which most of them decorously attend ; and while the religious Pres terians do that, to find the Cockneys, who trouble themselves comparatively little about church-going, and a great deal about riding or walking out, and visit ing their friends on Sundays, talking and writing about the Sabbath being desecrated by the delivery of letters, and by commercial letters being sent by the mail coaches on Sunday, which now carry passengers and official letters, is about as great a burlesque of religion as we have for a long time encountered. If these well-fed, large-bellied men were only to memo rialize the Treasury, and write in the public Journals, against the sinful indulgences of the poor in eating and drinking, and were to predict the ruin of the country from the labourers—those of Wiltshire, for example—being overfed, the hypocritical farce would be complete. The Paris Journals of Thursday anticipate the struggles of parties at the opening of the Chambers by calculations of their relative strength and popu larity. If we may believe one of them, of moderate politics and high character, the Ministry is busy in making use of the patronage at its disposal to weaken the Opposition. The Commerce has a letter from a respectable correspondent at Vienna, which states that M. DE GER VE, the First Secretary of the Russian Embassy in that city, has publicly averred, in the highest political circles, that the Emperor of RUSSIA intends to bestow the hand of his second daughter, the Grand Duchess OLGA, upon Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON BONA PA RTE, and to appoint him Viceroy of Poland, vesting the right of inheriting the Polish crown, inde pendent of Russia, in the Prince's descendants, male and female. The Commerce discredits this statement, and so do we ; though we think the CZAR could not take a better step, the present state of Europe properly considered. The Russian Empire, if not dismembered by the CZAR for the benefit of his own family, will soon fall to pieces from its own weight, and the ab sence of all cohesion in its most vital elements. Madrid Journals of the 29th ult. have been re ceived this morning. The Cabinet continued incom plete, there being no person found to take charge of the Finance Department. An empty Treasury, be sieged by an army clamorous for supplies, is rarely an object to sate the cravings of patriotic ambition in any country, and still less in one plunged in revolutionary anarchy. General ALAIX was hourly expected in the capital. There was no further news from the theatre of war.

Mr. THEssroER—I beg my Leered Friend's pardon. but I don't find the ti rm " more frightened than hurt" in the bill. —( Great laughter.) Mrs: Ann Wright—l live in Charlotte.street, near Portland-. place. Mrs. Hope was residing with me in October, 1837. Mr. Devenall was attending my little boy and I recommended him to Mrs. II pe ; that was after Christmas. She had violent retellings. Mr. Devenall attended her for a long time. He sent her medicine of different sorts. The rffervescieg draughts were very good for the retellings. He had leeches applied to her. Mr. Devenall was sent for by Mrs. Hope after he had discontinued coming. Mrs. Hope's child was ill on one occasi on a t n i g h t , and plaintiff was sent for. Mrs. Hope aftyrwards removed to Cirencester place, in April. She approved of Mr. Devenall very much. I thought Mr. Devenall very clever myself.

The plaintiff's medicine-boy proved the delivery of the medicine. Mr. J. H. Tucker— I am a surgeon and apothecary in BL.r ner's-street. I think half a guinea very reasonable for each • visit. Mr. ERLE addressed the Jury for the defendant. Mrs. Hope sought to protect herself by the verdict of the Jury from the exorbitant charges of the plaintiff, who, not content with mistaking Mrs. Hope's complaint, and giving her medicine which ageravated her illness, got up a charge of her being given to drink, and that she resorted to the trick of persuading some person thirit she was in the family way. He complained of the exorbitant charges and the enormous quantity of medicine a:nt in for a period of six months, while every visit was charged for at the rate of 10s. 6d. It was the recognized practice of apothecaries to mix up medicine that costs them almost no thing, and in that wag repay themselves for their visits ; but to charge for visits and for medicine of the most ordinary de scriptions besi les, was most unfair and extortionate. There was at least 14s. a day charged for medicine, and then half_ a• guinea for attendance. He believed it was known to the other party that from the treatment Mrs. Hope had received she was now in such a state that her death was hourly ex pected. The attention of the plaintiff was repeatedly called to Symptoms to show that the child was dead, and yet he to tally disregarded them, and said that everything was going on well. On the 9th of July Mrs. Hope was in such a state that Dr. Merriman was called, who at once said the child was dead, upon which plaintiff got into a great passion and said they w re both liars—insisted upon being immediately paid 10 guineas for the nurse he had hired to attend her in her confine ment, and bbhaved in the most improper manner outside the door to apprise the neighbourhood of toe unhappy situation of Mrs• Hop .. Three weeks afterwards the plaintiff resorted to the very strong expedient, he would call it, of arresting his client while her health was in that precarious state. Mary Cockerell-1 was employed by Mrs. Hope on the 17th May last, at i-past 6in the morning. No medicine was sent in on thatday or till the 21st. [Mr. Erle—There are charges on the 17th andlBth in the bill. ] Mrs. Hope said she did not wish plain tiff to call, and he said he was visiting a person in the neigh bourhood. I thought the child was dead, and repeatedly asked Mr. Devenall if he thought it lived, and he always said Yes. About a week before he left he said she would have a fine chil -_that was in June. I showed something to plaintiff, and he said, " Nonsense, it was nothing—every thing was going on regularly." That took place more than once. He pulled down the bed- clothes very rudely, and Mrs. Hops said she would not allow him to examine her. Dr. Merriman was called in that evening ; and next day when pl4ititiff called, Mrs. Hope told him of Dr. Merriman being called in. He got into a great passion. Mrs. Hope begged of him not to make a noise, as she was very ill and weak. He said he would make as much noise as he pleased. When I told him that Dr Merriman said the child was dead, and ought to have been removed months ago, he said 'he was a d--d liar, that it was no such thing. He said to Mrs. Hope, in my hearing, " If ever she was in the family way she was then, and he hoped the child might stick there." He spoke of Mrs. Hope's situation when standing at the street door, and then he said ho should have two months wages for the nurse, on Mon day, or take the consequences. Mrs. Hope is now living at Chertsey, and I came from there to attend the Court. I ex pected to have heard of her death since I came here. She has never been able to walk eight yards since then. Cross examined—Mr. Devenall said something of Mrs. EL.pe being an impostor and deceiving him; and she begged of him not to put himself in a passion, as she could not bear it. She was arrested when going to Chertsey. Sarah Witley was called on her subpoena, but did no appear. Doctor Merriman was alto called, but was not in attendance. Mr. 'FnEssmEn. replied. He complained of the unfairness of making statem,nts involving the character of a medical man, which his Learned Friend was not prepared to prove. After remarking upon the various charges which had her n made, arid Hhich were calculated to injure the character of Mr. Devenall, without any proof whatever being adduced in sup port of them, the Learned Counsel concluded by submitting that the plaintiff was entitled to the sum claimed. Lord DENMAN summed up, and the Jury, having retired, returned in about half an hour with a verdict for the plaintiff-- Damages, 25/. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) ROSS V. sMITII.—ASSAULT AND FALSE IMPRISONMENT. Mr. Sergeant 13OmPas stated the case for the plaintiff. The defendant was a locksmith, and the plaintiff a builder, both residing in York-street, Lambeth, or the neighbourhood. A lady having died in the house of defendant, where she lodged, the P Witt& wa s sent for, by a surgeon named Pri o r ( w h o h a d some interest in the deceased lady's effects), to fit a key to th e door of one of the rooms which she had occupied. There bad been sonic dispute between defendant and Mr. Prior re spectingwhich appears to have excited s ome ill f ee li ng in rent, the mind of the former. The plaintiff took the lock away to fit the key to it. The defendant declared he would have the fellow taken into custody for a felony. And on plaintiff's returning with the lock and the key, defendant actually sent for two policemen, and cave him in charge on an accusation of felony. Ih e pl a intiff was d ragge d to the station-house, but the inspector refused to take the charge, which was of so frivolous a c haracter, and plaintiff was dismissed. A more unwarrantable attack on the liberty of the subject (the Learned Sergeant said), without the slighteit g round or pr e _ fence, was ne ver presented befire a C our t of Justice ; an d it was for the Jury to say what damage s would be sufficient conipenasti ,n to plaintiff tor I/14 malicious arrest ; and as a vindication of his character from the aspersion, which an arrest for felony would necessarily and unavoidably give rise to. These facts having been proved by the in rson who was left in charge of the room in question, and a policeman, Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD a,:dre-ised the Jury for the defend ant. He thought the case sh , ,uid have ended a hen the Inspector dismissed the c h arge. He was sure the Jury would see there was no malice in the case. The defendant had acted on the mere impulse of the moment. If tae affair was ever bruited abroad, it must be by Air. Ruse bii nse u ; but for whom the circumstance would remain " under THE FUNDS.
